Weather Still Charted by Hand

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—In noisy, will-it offices on the 12th floor of downtown Kansas City, weather forecasters keep watch on the city.
In the midst of all the technological tools, weather preasters still in position preemerges maps and draws boxes and red circles around storm cells. They time and gives them quick access to more information, but much of their job remains the same.
Employees of the Severe Storm Forecast Center gather information from more than 300 radar and reporting installations to create an overall picture of the activity through the country.
Rats receive the nicotine by injection because they will not smoke. "They step breathing if they can smell it, then to smoke a cigarette," he said.
Research at the University of Iowa affects the effects of nicotine on learning whether small doses of nicotine can make cats learn faster, high doses can impair their ability.
Forecasters now can follow a large storm as it moves through the city, compiled maps are relayed to local stations on a six-hour basis.
The study was funded by a $12,000 grant from the Council for Tobacco Research. The findings were reported at American College of Pediatrics meetings in Montreal, Canada in 1969 and will be published soon.
Funnel clouds and torndogs, as such, cannot be spotted by radar but the conditions which breed them can. When these storms present, the familiar six-hour severe storm watch is called.
Carlson K. Erickson, associate professor of finance and management conducted the research, said the information "cannot be extrapolated to current circumstances."
The principal tool of the orecaster still is radar. The
installation at Kansas City has a full range of 250 miles. Radar can outline a general storm area in relation to the ground. The operator can find the height of the clouds, a good indication of the cloud, of a storm, by tilting the beam until it no longer returns an echo
Forecasters map each funnel sighting so that residents can be warned if a funnel is approaching high in the air, it may touch the ground instantaneously. Farmers, highway patrol and other citizens work as spotter and the Center to phone in sightings.
The Kansas City center also must warn a 36 county area. During a severe storm as many as three men on the radar arm is reachable the radar open to call school districts, sheerfa

Astronomer To Discuss Cosmology
Cosmology, the study of the history and future of the universe, will be the topic tonight at 8 p.m. The lecture will be by Susan Wyckoff, astronomer-in-residence. The lecture will be in 426 Lindley Hall and will be followed by a viewing of the moon in October at the city's 8-inch refracting telescope.
Miss Wyckoff will discuss the evolution and structure of the universe and will build a mathematical model of it. She will attempt to interpret the universe by describing mon views on the origin of the universe—the steady state theory and the big bang theory.

Asked if it would be an aid for the ordinary citizen to call in a firefighter, an official of the bureau, said he was afraid such a call would never get through fast enough. He asked if the bureau would for weather reports—some just want to talk. "You get so you can speak." The voices, said Provo.

Tornado weather usually occurs between 3 and 9 p.m. when people are likely to be in their homes, at home or on the internet or television. But near the Gulf of Mexico, because of low level heat conditions, tornadoes most often occur in the western United States.

Satellites also are being developed to aid forecasters. The Center receives pictures from NASA's satellite ATS-3, an applications technology satellite, which orbits the equator and moves its trajectories to earth as often as every 13 minutes during bad weather.
